Cocktail menu Keeping it simple, we’ve designed our menu into five categories:

• Classics • TheBartender Favourites • Seasonal Sensations • & Dreams • Mocktails

When choosing cocktails, try and follow these simple rules:

Less is more. If you choose lots of cocktails, you are going to run into a variety of problems; lots of cocktails means you will require lots of stock; the more cocktails you have, the less chance all of them will be sampled thus leaving a lot of stock bought especially for certain cocktails left over; too many cocktails and your guests will panic and just choose the most famous one / their favourite and be less inclined to read through and try something different.

Share ingredients. If you choose cocktails that use the same ingredients it means that you’ll have to buy less. For example, if you choose a (see below), you can use the alcoholic ingredients to make a , , , , Garden of Eden, , , Cuba Libre and more without having to purchase any other spirits.

Choose Wisely. Think about what you would like to drink and then think about if your guests would also like it. If you really like Black Russians but none of your guests enjoy the sweet coffee flavour then perhaps don’t put it on the menu but have a bottle of Kahlua handy for if you fancy one on the night.

Help your bartender. If you haven’t chosen to buy laminated menus, perhaps print some off and put them on the bar. This will save your bartender time and effort in having to recite all the possible drinks options for your guests. We can draw some simple ones up and email them across for you.

Ice. This is the most important ingredient when making cocktails. Without it no drinks can be made. A plentiful supply of ice is essential if you want some delicious looking and tasting drinks. If you choose drinks that require crushed ice, we will need crushed ice to be supplied. You can buy cubed bags and smash them with a rolling pin before the event to make it easier for your bartender. If your bartender has to crush ice on the night this will slow him down a lot.

Have a go! If you’ve gone to the trouble of supplying a bartender for your guests and friends, make sure you get to try your hand at making one for yourself! All of our bartenders will be more than happy to show you the ropes. Classics
